"JAPAN - OTACOOL NATION" : TRENDS OF JAPANESE OTAKU
Joseph Britton
The Japanese youth are re-defining and re-shaping themselves- physically, mentally and spiritually. What does this new face of Japan mean for the country's future and how is it influencing the world-wide youth culture's lifestyle and quality of communications? Upon first entering the Japanese society, one perceives a calibrated, well- run, oiled machine, with endless checks and balances to assure that all its inhabitants know and follow the time-honoured, established rules. It is a country of over-lapping groups of members who lend support to all within their circle. What happens when some people jump out of their social bubbles, thereby, losing their pre-determined way and identity?
